My #850 was built on Jan27 1969 (scheduled for the 31st). Were the 70s rebadged with new build dates (if so, maybe that's the reason they got the chin spoiler & hood stripes)?
No "new" build dates For 1970 cars.
They got stripes and chin spoilers because it's a sin for American car companies to sell the same car 2 years in a row. A lot of places in Europe you'll see the first year sold as being the year of the car not the build date.
June of 1969 is the last builds for the Shelbys. My 1970 was one of them-0F02R483129.
#0361 built on January 8th (my birthday), 5 days ahead of schedule.
It would be interesting to see a chart/graph of builds per month (maybe not just 69-70s). Looks like Ford cranked out 500-600 in January 69. Was that a good month or an average month or........
I think last built is yellow 350 fastback
The last shelby was a yellow 70 gt500. scj 4-speed from gotham ford and back years ago i thought i found the car having a color change but wrong serial #. I found. 2. 70 yellow gt500 scj 4 speeds that both never ended up being 3295 and they both came from gotham ford . We had the last gt350 in our shop doing some improvements before it sold to john atzbach collection and it was a yellow car also.
